Regarded as one of the world's most fascinating dogs, the Chow Chow is complex and independent, known around the world for his lionlike appearance, scowling expression and bluish-black tongue. Whether adorned with a profuse rough coat or a dense smooth coat, the Chow Chow cuts an impressive image. In its native China, the breed has been used as a guard dog, hunting dog and food source, though never as a pet.

Puppies only
3 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
This is quite a good book BUT as other Breed books it dwells mainly on the young dog. It would be an improvement if there was more on the adult Chow ie. Grooming, feeding, prefered weights etc.

The basic brunch
29 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
This book was a real disappointment. It doesn't contain any recipes. Why not? Personally, I prefer my chow chow with sweet sauer sauce and bamboo noodles, although chilli sauce does the trick, too. Also, I want the chow to have an apple in its mouth! How's that for a basic brunch?
